She taught special education for 20 years, including a stint at Denman Middle School.
A graduate of City College of San Francisco, Grier held degrees from San Francisco State University and the University of San Francisco.
She developed extensive experience as an educator and administrator at San Francisco Unified School District where she focused on equity in education and supported creating pathways from high school to college and lifelong learning.
“Her vision to strengthen connections with SFUSD and SFSU, broaden access through childcare, disability services and encourage students to stay in school will continue to inspire the community,” according to an announcement from City College of San Francisco. “Grier's own journey from community college to advanced degrees proved the power of education to transform lives.”
